Please Visit My Office!

If you are still looking for an internship and need options, come and see me! I can help you look! No, I can’t raise your GPA or create new content for your portfolio, but I can advise you on the best options going forward. I just added a bunch of new chocolates to my candy bowl! Maybe that’s enough to get you to visit me in my office.

Here are upcoming deadlines!
